Product details: HC-PSG5

HC-PSG5 — OEM-equivalent PSG5 control unit

Product overview

The HC-PSG5 control unit is a brand-new, OEM-equivalent electronic driver module for Bosch VP30 and VP44 diesel injection pumps. It restores electronic control on pumps originally equipped with PSG5 electronics, offering a bench-compatible, workshop-friendly replacement for common European diesel applications.

The unit is intended for professional diesel workshops and test-bench environments, integrating smoothly into established VP30 and VP44 service workflows.


Vehicle compatibility (selected applications)

The initial release of the HC-PSG5 control unit covers selected VP30 and VP44 pumps commonly found in:

  • Ford
    • Transit
    • Focus
    • Fiesta
  • Audi
    • A4
    • A6
    • A8
  • BMW
    • 320d

Final compatibility depends on pump variant and calibration. The application list is being expanded as validation progresses.

Bench and calibration workflow

EPS 815 test bench compatibility

The HC-PSG5 control unit is designed to work seamlessly with Bosch EPS 815 test benches, fitting naturally into existing VP30 and VP44 diagnostic and calibration procedures.

  • No special bench adaptations required
  • Identical workflow for technicians experienced with VP30 and VP44 systems
  • Intended for use alongside standard VP-pump test equipment and procedures

dFi adjustment

  • dFi is adjusted in exactly the same way as on an original PSG5 unit
  • No alternative or proprietary adjustment method is required
  • Full compatibility with software developed for the OEM PSG5
  • Workshops keep their established adjustment routines — no extra software or training

Hardware scope and supply content

Included

  • HC-PSG5 electronic control unit (ECU / EDU)

Not included

The unit does not include:

  • Hydraulic or electronic valves
  • Pump speed sensor

These components must be supplied separately or reused from the existing pump, depending on condition and workshop practice.


Test-bench compensation

  • Answers the EPS 815 compensation procedure exactly as a genuine unit does
  • Idle and injection-start-angle adjustment run over the standard K-Line protocol, as on a genuine unit
  • Recoding uses the standard K-Line coding command, including the same limited number of recodings as the original

For official Bosch workshops that rely on full OE-style compensated calibration, the unit fits the bench procedure you already run. Recalibration or compensation by a third party on an EPS 815 does not affect the warranty — the unit is designed to be recalibrated that way, and doing so is normal service rather than manipulation.


Development status & roadmap

  • Not all technical references are available yet
  • Additional documentation and application references are work in progress

Herlic Components is actively expanding validation coverage and reference material to further align with professional diesel workshop requirements.


Intended use

  • Professional diesel injection workshops
  • VP30 and VP44 pump repair and testing environments
  • Bench-based diagnostics and functional verification

Summary

The HC-PSG5 control unit is an OEM-equivalent replacement for VP30- and VP44-equipped applications, maintaining compatibility with EPS 815 bench workflows and standard dFi adjustment. Bench compensation runs as it does on a genuine unit, and documentation and application coverage continue to expand.
